n177372Quantum Physics.

No way. "Timeline" is not for the boring professors of physics, It's really a 14th-century action thriller that takes you on a roller coaster ride through medieval France. If you ain't a history buff, this particular book will add some sense to you. :) But if you are, then this book is certainly a good read to test your trivias.

Wait. The writer is Crichton? Yes. To prove that it is indeed one of Crichton's work, quantum physics was included and played a major role on the story (especially the ending).

The action scenes are excellent and authentic (read: do not read this while taking inside a public vehicle!). Crichton made a real research and did a good job finding truths about France and quantum physics as well.

It's a book that drives you full throttle to the very end, makes you think, and remember something along the way. (Sooth?) I'd say that, as books goes these days (read: twilight), this book is a real read indeed.

5 out of 5 :)

the_andromeda_strain_michael_crichton_bookSuspenseful. Enjoyable. And Outdated. :)

"Andromeda Strain" defines the inclusion of novels in science fiction. Crichton is alarmingly being very hardcore. [ But from the POV of a man in 2009, he's nothing but a narrator. :) ]

I think Crichton is taking some masters in twisting real science into something terrifying and believably-unbelievable.If you've seen the movie, the book will not give you any surprises.

With bias. Haha. :) I'm a Crichton fan.

4 out of 5. :)
